I like them because for accidents they absorb a little, but LO knows that she's had an accident. They aren't that absorbent that she wouldn't know she had an accident. To me they are like the next step. Then we moved on to regular/thin panties that were cuter/had designs. We actually don't have any character undies, they are just cute with designs--for my LO she just wanted to wear "big girl panties" like me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058640 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 12:01:42 +0000 Thenetexan 2058640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They will still feel an accident in the thick ones and if they stop the flow, it helps. They will not come close to holding a full pee. We started with the thicker ones and transitioned to thin ones. He still chooses the thicker ones sometimes, so it's not like they were a waste. We didn't do any characters, I was more focused on soft and definitely did not want to get into the situation where I was battling him because the Spider-Man pair were dirty and he only wanted spiderman... He trained quickly and easily, so no regrets on not using characters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058559 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 10:19:51 +0000 hilsy85 2058559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thin...you want them to feel when they have an accident. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058515 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 08:46:25 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2058515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for characters. We had the gerber ones, too, but they aren't as absorbent as you'd think they'd be! </p> <p>We used diapers for going out when we first started training then moved to pull-ups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058467 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 07:05:29 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2058467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Characters are more motivating :-) we had some training pants too, but they would only absorb maybe a dribble. My kid was all or nothing though, so not tremendously useful for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058458 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 06:28:43 +0000 Mama Bird 2058458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Regular cotton character undies. I'd just make sure you have more than one of each kind. DS was obsessed with the soccer ones for a while, which was fine, but then he got obsessed with this one pair of Wonderpets undies that came with them. And because there was one pair, he'd pee on it and then want to wear it anyway... it was just ridiculous how many times I had to say no to wet Wonderpets and make him cry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058423 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 02:03:36 +0000 littleblessings 2058423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Characters. Bought DD Dora panties and then she started showing interest in the potty </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058399 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 00:54:26 +0000 Freckles 2058399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Characters. When she stopped being motivated to use the potty I bought Dora and Disney princess underwear. That did the trick! I hate that they are so flimsy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058376 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 23:35:16 +0000 yin 2058376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Characters! It's fun for kids, and I wanted to make sure LO knew that he had an accident. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058373 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 23:30:20 +0000 MamaCate 2058373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I don't think you need the thick ones, but we had some as hand me downs and LO still peed through them! I would skip them if I was going to spend money on them since they are useful for such a short time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058367 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 23:25:24 +0000 autumnlove 2058367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thin. I didn't want any absorbency! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058310 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 22:18:38 +0000 cascademom 2058310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Characters to start. He likes his tighty whities from Fruit of the Loom. They're about the same as character ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058297 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 22:09:21 +0000 Bao 2058297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Characters because it makes it fun for her. She had a rash in the beginning but I waahed them a few times and they softened up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058287 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 21:56:43 +0000 PinkElephant 2058287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the Gerber ones for going out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058174 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 19:47:41 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2058174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thin and flimsy. We did use pull-ups for a while (because she liked the characters) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058163 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 19:36:40 +0000 HLK208 2058163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thin and flimsy characters! We haven't had problems. When DS stopped having accidents, I actually started buying nicer underwear because the cheap ones, I could just toss if they were really bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058146 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 19:22:11 +0000 yellowbird 2058146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the thin and flimsy character ones. They definitely don't hold anything in. She peed all over our couch but it really wasn't that big of a deal. She was sort of scared of panties after that for a couple weeks and I had to ease her back into them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underpants#post-2058145 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 19:20:33 +0000 sorrycharlie 2058145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you tell I'm obsessing?</p> <p>Did you use the character undies when you started training? Or thicker ones (gerber training pants)?</p> <p>The girls I babysat used characters and I remember them being really thin and flimsy! I feel like the training pants might hold more of an accident? </p>
